Yes, I wasn't trying to put them in antithesis, I was trying to point out the wider context, and yes, I agree with you (that the narrower context automatically involves all of the wider encompassing context). The meaningful distinction

"Somebody revising a quote doesn't mean they were lying the first time around. You may not care for negotiation, but that doesn't mean it is dishonest." There is a divergence in moral values in here, and even if you th

That's not "pricing for the enterprise" you're describing, it's pricing for customizations. Yes, each customization can be negotiated separately and when there can be "over 4000 options" it makes sense to

But there can be! Say, they entice customers to bid into a collective launch and then scheme you into all kind of price conditions depending on your load, service priority, or whatnot. ...actually, the more I think about it, this may be a b

It's strange to see such a protocol, that it was necessary in the first place. I guess people just assumed the wrong things even with their emotional compass as their guide. Thank you Pieter, you're truly a giver till the last dro

He gives his books for free, so I can't imagine what buying would do for him (as I presume the paid sum is just the price asked by publishers for their service/channel). If you wish to support him you can do it more directly.

Yes, it can not be "killed" but, as other dangerous/infectious particles (like viruses), it can be destroyed. The immune system is able to naturally develop defenses against both live and inert foreign bodies, but only if the

Isn't the CISC model contributing to better cache usage? As I understood, this was something that showed its strength in the time of raw computing-power rush and when cache started to matter.

They did not tested if the animals were intelligent or not, that was a known fact. They seem to have tested the intelligence relative to different species (instead of testing the intelligence absolute limit) and it wasn't an easy task

AFAIK, it's more about the amount of complete REM cycles. The sleep gets more and more "shallow" in a continuous session. Six-hour night sleep session and a nap at noon may be more efficient than an eight-hour night sleep.

(I can not edit any longer my parent comment, so I reply) I also started reading "The Psychopath Code". It got over my expectations, so far. It may be one of the books I'll recomend to my children when the time comes. Till

I started to read your blog and ...discover you, in a way! All I've known before was ZeroMQ. I wish to have found your blog-posts earlier, maybe posted here on HN.

"Fortunately, I've never seen this manifest in a startup before my own eyes (at least in an extreme way)" That's because, however tough the entrepreneurship may seem, the businesses are part of the larger society which

I've thought a while ago about what would I do in a similar situation, besides you know - the common idea of spending more time with the loved ones, and I would probably write a memoir, maybe a book even, and leave it to descendants or

Yeah, it reminds me of American McGee's Alice urban scenery.

It is probably about a mental association of decorative trees in the city-dense areas with public space and the off-limits skyscraper tree space gets in conflict with this association. Don't worry, in time they'll get used to it.

Books alone won't do you or your son much good. Get as much personal improvement/development live courses as you guys can, acting would be my top.

The autistic condition forms a spectrum. Children that you might have seen in the documentaries could have had a severe form. For what I care, anxiety is not something necessarily related to autism as emotional people feel anxious too. That

I choose not to "miss to death" anyone/anything. When it happens to hug someone it doesn't make much difference to me if we haven't seen each other for over a year or a minute.

"Autistic people don't choose to not care" I accidentally got in a condition that can be compared to the ones describing autism. I remember how it is to be emotional but I choose not to go back (even if theoretically it is

What's funny is that the conditions included in the "autism spectrum" are close to the idea of how a man should be - pretty much emotionless, or at least with no emotional manifestation except laughter and anger. As men, in a

"Without emotions there'd be no point in doing anything." This is a mantra supported by the (still) majority of our current society. I presume that people who believe it don't really bother to investigate other beliefs

"for people with socio-affective issues it has some relevance" It may. It would enlarge the amount of things we use to relate to when we're communicating but it's not essential for a natural-perceived relation. The mecha

Hugging has two distinct sides - emotional and sensorial. It feels kind of futile to do it for emotional reason (you do it just to please the other side, maybe) but it still feels good for sensorial one. It's like hugging a pleasant an

Yes, emotional awareness is a useful tool that an autistic person lacks. Without it the entire social game gets very confusing - you have less direction, you don't really sense when to stop and when to go on, when to switch behavior to

"but it does show in the very least a deep cultural contact between disparate kingdoms in the pre-China age." Cultural contact - yes, deep - not so convinced. If the said territories would indeed have been in a deep cultural tie

Yeah, that's how it's done in China. This is pretty much a testimony from as early as the written word itself!

I don't they give a damn, but... this only encourages me about a business idea I thought about a while ago - a subscription-based service to pre-render JavaScript-laden content!
